UNITED STATES ABRAHADI L. LISOY, OF DALLAS, TEXAS.

WATCHMANS TIME- Application filed July 27,

To all 10. 2 cm it may concern:

Be it known that I, ABRAHAM L. LrsoY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dallas. in the county of Dallas and State of Texas, have invented. certain new and useful Improvements in WVatchmens Time- Recording Devices, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to devices for watchmen around a building or other place, where the watchman is required to register on a time clock mechanism at certain in tervals his inspection of the building and premises.

The invention aims to provide a watch mans clock mechanism of simple construction and economical manufacture and intended to gi e practically as good resmlts as such de ices of a more complicated nature.

another object of the invention is to pro vide a device of this character that is fixed in stationary place and on which the periodic registrations of inspection of the building or preu'iises by the watchman can be easily made instead of his wearing or carrying the device on his person as is generally done.

These primary and other important and minor objects of the invention will be better and more clearly understood by reference to the following description. taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, forming part hereof in which- Figure 1 is an inside fragmentary view of a door showing the device secured thereto.

Figure 2 is a side elevational view of the device upon a portion of a door with its box with its box and lid swung apart.

Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view through the door on line 3-3 of Figure 2 and looking at the interior of the box.

Figure 4: is a top view of the interior of the box of the device showing one of the plates enclosing an ordinary clock mechanism the cover of the box broken away.

Figure 5 is a detail'sectional view of the interior of the clock mechanism and co-acting parts of the device.

Figure 6 is a top view of the plate which co-acts with the clock mechanism and upon which the recording disk is supported. F igure 7 being a cross-sectional view thereof on the line 7-7 of Figure 6.

Figure 8 is a. top view of the recording disk upon which the markings or punctures are made.

RECORDING DEVICE.

1922. Serial No. 577,926.

Fi ure 9 is a pin for marking or puncturing the disk; and

Figure 10 is a detail sectional view of a cap means for retaining one of the wheels in place.

Referring more in detail to the drawings, 1 denotes a door to which the lid or cover 2 f the device is secured by screws 3-3 and which is hingedly connected to the box 4 containing the mechanism. The door 1 and cover 2 have an opening 5 for the in sertion of a pin 6 for perforating at periodic intervals of time a paper dial 7 for indicating the hour at which the inspection of the building or premises was made by the watch man. The dial 7 has markings of hours 1 to 12 as shown in Figure 8 the radial lines 8-8 indicating quarter hour divisions. This dial is secured in position by small burs 99 on the face of a plate 10 by simply pressing the dial thereupon and which is placed through an aperture 11 on a bolt 18.

The interior of the box 4 contains an ordinary clock mechanism beneath a plate 12 with wheels and pinions 13 and 14 appearing on the outer side of the plate in the usual manner in a clock mechanism the same being shown for the sake of clearness of illustration.

Referring to Figure 6, the plate 10 comprising part of the invention has a rim p0rtion 15 spaced apart from a central portion 16 by the integrally formed looped portions 17-17. Plate 16 has a projecting bolt 18 screw-threaded for the reception of a cap 19 with knurled head 20 which is advanced upon the bolt to hold the disk 7 in place.

Underneath the portion 16 of the plate 10 and opposite the bolt 8 is a nipple 21 which is adapted to be slipped over the tubular stub shaft 22 carried by one of the wheels 13, the later shaft 22 in turn being seated upon and over the shaft 23 which drives the hour hand of the clock mechanism. A small cap 24 may be placed on the shaft 23 to hold the shaft 22 with its wheel in place when necessary to remove the plate 10. A catch 25 holds the box and lid together.

In operation, the watchman has only to insert the pin 6 into the openings 5 and perforate the disk 7 which will register the hour, a quarter or half or three-quarter hour division of time. The device being fixed to the door on' the inside and in a stationary place the watchman need only carry the pin.

What is claimed is 1. In combination With a door having an opening therein, a time clock having a rotating dial a casing for the clock'having a hinged cover formed with an opening, means to secure the corer to the door With the openin thereof in register With the door opening, and an instrument formed to be carried by the Watchman and receivable in said registering openings, and having a r pointed end to puncture the dial.

2. In a time clock, a casing, clock mechanism in the casing having an arbor, a plate having a central part connected to ra'raeee the clock arbor, a rim spaced from the cen tral part, substantially til-shaped loops con nected to the rim and central part and extending rearwardly of each, a paper dial and pins on the plate penetrating the dial for holding the latter onto the plate, said casing having a pin-receiving opening in register with the space between the central part and rim of the plate and with the open portions of the loops. in testimony wiereoif l. name to this specification.
